The Rajasthan government has set an ambitious target of generating 125 gigawatts (GW) of solar energy by 2030 under its Clean Energy Policy-2024, as announced in a tweet by the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) Rajasthan. Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma emphasized that the state is committed to leveraging both conventional and renewable energy sources to enhance power production.

According to the announcement, the government has taken long-term strategic decisions to achieve a total power generation capacity of over 54,000 megawatts (MW) by 2031-32. This will be achieved through a mix of traditional and renewable energy sources, reinforcing Rajasthan’s status as a leading state in the clean energy sector.

A Leader in Renewable Energy

Rajasthan has emerged as a pioneer in solar energy, with its vast desert land and high solar irradiance making it an ideal hub for large-scale solar projects. The state’s new energy policy is expected to attract significant investments, create jobs, and position Rajasthan as a key contributor to India's renewable energy goals.

The Clean Energy Policy-2024 aligns with India’s national renewable energy mission, which aims for a net-zero carbon footprint and a significant reduction in dependency on fossil fuels. By setting the 125 GW solar energy target, Rajasthan has once again demonstrated its leadership in the green energy sector.

Strategic Vision for 2030 and Beyond

The government’s long-term vision includes:

Expanding solar power infrastructure across the state

Encouraging private sector investments in renewable energy projects

Enhancing grid infrastructure to support higher energy output

Developing hybrid renewable energy models combining solar, wind, and other sources

CM Bhajanlal Sharma emphasized that these policies will ensure Rajasthan continues to lead in clean energy innovation, contributing significantly to both the state’s and the nation’s energy security.

As Rajasthan moves forward with its ambitious energy goals, the new Clean Energy Policy-2024 is set to redefine the state's power landscape, ensuring sustainable growth and energy independence for future generations.
